One day, one man, when he was used to get plenty of water, thought, I am wise and so I must do something about this water problem.
So he dug a big pit in his land. He brought God’s water from nearby river and stored it in that pit. This is My water, he said. It is now sufficient for My land, My trees and My animals and birds. And there is some excess in reserve for future. Now I am happy.
Then he jumped in and swam in that water.
One day one man said, why should I get one, ten, hundred, or thousand buckets of water? After all this is all my water. And this is my land. My trees grow on it. My animals live on it. I give them water. I am supreme.
Yet I am so generous, I quench the thirst of the entire universe.
Then in the ecstasy of supremacy, he danced naked in the ocean of God.
Then one day, one man said, this entire universe is mine. It’s because of me and it’s for me. I am supreme.
But it’s not necessary to be generous. It’s not a binding. As such I am not responsible for the thirst of the universe. I will decide, who will get the water and how much. No water for those who don’t belong to me.
Then he made a fence around his water pool and supplied the water to his people, animals and birds. And he built a dam on the river and supplied water only to his fields.
He denied it to all others.
Man seized the God’s Water. But God didn’t prohibit him. Man seized the God’s Universe. But God didn’t prohibit him.
Because, there was no God to guard the Universe. There was no God to look after. In fact there was no God.
After eating the fruit of his own tree watered by his own water, in his own land, man realized, there is nobody to ask, nobody to prohibit and nothing to fear. There is no God. I am the God.
This is a story of Man and Water. This is also a story of Man and Trees, Man and Animals and Man and Universe.
And this is also a story of Man and God (who does not exist)
